I do not want to gang up on Elm but....

In discussing "reality" as he was making his points....

A very very small percentage of movies in Hollywood present reality.

From the actors or actresses that star in the movie to genre's - reality is left at the door of the film lot.

Romances - gone
Westerns - gone
Action movies - gone
Musicals - gone
most dramas - gone
mysteries - gone
animations - gone

the only thing left

Monster with Charlize Theron

Reality isn't what it is all cracked up to be - that is why we love movies. That is why we love seeing size 3 actresses and hunky actors. That's why we love to see things blown up, people without clothes, cars we can never afford, those cars trashed, places of space that don't exist, aliens that haunts our creative dreams...

Moogle was just trying to say *sigh* that within those contexts of fable it is nice to have SOME sense of rational film making. Like jumping a car off of a cliff but having it land at the bottom fine (Duke of Hazard) versus when people have sex they do it with their clothes off (for the most part) except for Iguana who may still do it with his shoes and socks on (for traction).
